It is Time to Protect Your Home from Hurricane
with Impact Windows

Staying in a hurricane prone area can be
threatening. Hurricanes and tornadoes might occur
any time and destroy your home and property. Even
you will not be safe inside your home when a
major storm strikes. Therefore, it certainly
makes sense to take the necessary precautionary
measures of protection to protect your home and
family from the impact of hurricanes.
Hence, the option of hurricane impact windows and
doors is ideal for you. These mainly comprise
of glass that is surrounded by heavy frame, and
they are safely attached to the inside window and
door frame. These are constructed and designed
in such a way so that it keeps away the strong
debris and winds from entering into your home.

Two Different Varieties
When it comes to the windows you will find two
different varieties.
The first one is a laminated option that
comprises of different glass sheets and an inner
membrane. As soon as, the glass acquires an
impact, the inner part of the membrane supports
the glass pieces and holds it firmly. These can
easily handle any kinds of debris that comes at
high speed with the wind. In addition to that,
it can even handle any attack by the external
intruders into your home. Water or wind cannot
penetrate through these doors and windows, and it
can even reduce the fading of sun and damage from
UV.

The second one is comparatively less hardy, and
uses a special kind of window film stuck over the
glazing surface. A film with resistance to
shatter is placed on top of the glass so that the
window is not broken.
These films are stuck to the glazing, due to
which they often fail to work as a whole system.
The nature of the protective laminate used in the
glass determines the durability.

Protecting The Envelope Of Building

• Manufacturers initiated the idea of impact
  resistance windows in order to save buildings
  from any form of destruction.
• After all, a window which is broken helps the
  wind to easily enter into the house, thereby
  increasing pressure.
• The difference in pressure of air in the interior
  and exterior can make the building unsafe. Hence,
  the best way to remain safe is to keep the wind
  out.
• Hence, these windows were manufactured. Even
  homeowners get complete relief when they replace
  the standard glass windows with the windows
  resistant to impact.
• If you go for the same option, you can be assured
  that you will not have to take any extra
  precaution for preventing the breaching of
  windows.

Adding Frames For Strength
It is a good idea to add frames to these windows
because they can enhance the overall strength of
the windows. These frames can be made of anything
ranging from metal, wood, vinyl and even a
combination of materials. The frames for these
windows are generally bulkier than the normal
ones. The frames also come with stiffeners so
that they can withstand the impact.
Therefore, it is definitely a great idea to
install the impact windows and doors in your home
for added safety.
